Mona is new and wants to be popular, so when she heard that her friend Danielle Meyers Frenched-Kissed one boyfriend, and just kissed the other one because he had braces she had to kiss someone too. When Mona walked into her class room on the next day she saw a new student sitting at a desk. The boy's name was Sherman. Sherman's mother put him in the same class as Mona so he wouldn't be the only Orientals in the class.
